TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

The topic dominates the discussion in right-wing media.

Fans are blaming Trump for the loss, per Mediaite.  As much as I’d like to pin the blame on POTUS, the Spurs’ smothering defense was the decisive factor in my expert opinion as a mediocre backyard basketball player....Bookmark This: Be sure to visit the Diversity Style Guide, a compilation of more than 700 terms relating to sexuality, ethnicity, immigration and disability.  Thanks to San Francisco State University for publishing this essential resource.

California Elections Have No Integrity
